"The Ultimatum: Queer Love" Takes the Reality Dating Show Genre by Storm on Netflix.

Netflix's new reality show, The Ultimatum: Queer Love, features five queer women and nonbinary people working out their conflicting feelings about marriage while assessing the other participants for romantic potential. The show is a departure from certain fictional shows that depict lesbians as indiscriminate partner swappers who are down to sleep with every other lesbian who crosses their path. The show presents a highly conservative outlook on the institution of marriage, but it also makes some incisive points about how challenging, maddening, and thrilling it can be to try to overcome our human differences in pursuit of a life lived in partnership.
